What rc.d script are you using to start the dhcp server? It may be
running before the network or routing is fully up and running. On my
Solaris systems I run dhcpd using /etc/rc3.d/S17dhcpd.

Note that the Solaris dhcp server is started in /etc/rc3.d/S34dhcp, so
you may want to make sure that is not running and interferring with the
ISC dhcp server operations. The sun dhcp server is
/usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd.
